BiographyEdit
He, like the rest of his family was very unpopular and not very well liked in the
Shire. Like his father and his mother he had always desired Bag End for himself -
in the year SR 1418 of Shire Reckoning he had already waited sixty-two years for
the inheritance, but was foiled when Bilbo's nephew Frodo got the hole.
Subsequently, when Frodo embarked to Rivendell, Lotho finally received Bag End and
from there set himself up as Chief of the Shire.
He became an accomplice of Saruman during the War of the Ring. Trading Pipe-weed
with Saruman for money, he began buying land in the Southfarthing, where Men from
Isengard were stationed. With the aid of these Ruffians, Lotho was able to depose
and imprison Will Whitfoot, the Shire's lawful mayor, and declared himself Chief
Shirriff, calling himself "The Boss". Under his command, the Shire was
industrialized. However, Lotho was soon stripped of his power, and Saruman took
over. Saruman's servant Grma Wormtongue killed Lotho, and either buried him or
ate him.[1][2]
Portrayal in adaptationsEdit
Lotho is briefly seen walking around in Bywater in the The Lord of the Rings: The
Fellowship of the Ring.
